Finnish Ykkonen | 6 June 2026

Honka Espoo produced a dominant display in the local derby, thrashing EBK Espoo 4‑1 at the Tapiolan Urheilupuisto. The emphatic win consolidates Honka’s position in the top three and heaps further pressure on their struggling neighbours.

First‑Half Blitz

Honka stormed into a three‑goal lead inside the opening 30 minutes. A fierce strike from outside the box opened the scoring in the 12th minute, followed by a close‑range header from a corner (24’) and a clinical finish after a swift counter‑attack (29’). EBK were shell‑shocked and barely threatened the Honka goal before the break.

Second‑Half Exchange

EBK pulled one back early in the second half through a well‑taken free kick, briefly giving the away fans hope. Honka, however, restored their three‑goal advantage shortly after the hour mark with a neat one‑two and finish inside the area. The home side comfortably saw out the remainder of the match.
